My heart's getting bigger so I need a new pant size
|
When you're the tower of strength people climb up your backside
|
So you don't stay that way too long
|
You're only temporarily strong
|
|
|
I've got mercy, mercy to go
|
I've got mercy, mercy to go
|
And then it's all gone
|
|
|
You don't swim up and grab a drowning man
|
'Cause he'll use you as a life raft if he can
|
It's better to hold a out a branch
|
Then the tree, and then the whole ranch
|
|
|
'Cause I've got mercy, mercy to go
|
I've got mercy, mercy to go
|
I've got mercy, mercy to go
|
And then it's all gone
|
|
|
As I mature I learn to speak my mind
|
On the other hand I learn to be patient & let it ride
|
Between these two traits is a line
|
You step on it all of the time
|
Why do these things always happen to you?
|
I wish I had the time to let them swallow me too
|
When we count up all of our wounds
|
You're the desert, I'm one of the dunes
|
|
|
I never met a manipulator that wasn't paranoid
|
They see in themselves what in others they should avoid
|
All the devious plans aren't there
|
Ghosts fly out from under their hair
|
And I get to hear about it, and it comes in heavy waves
|
And I'm lying under your downer, with no breathing space
|
|
|
And I've still got mercy, mercy to go
|
And when it's all gone
|
I guess it's all gone
|

Mercy To Go
